Preventive Mastectomy

Hi Pennie, I'm also 28yrs and found out the day after my bday that I had breast cancer in my left breast. I have no history of breast cancer in my family. On the 13th of December I had a double mastectomy. It was my choice to have both breasts removed, because I also didn't want to live thinking will it come back. It was piece of mind. I haven't had children and I got married in april so my husband and i had embryos saved and I won't be able to breastfeed. I still have a journey ahead of chemo maybe radiation and various surgery. With my surgery of my double mastectomy they placed expanders where the breasts were to stretch the muscle so that down the track I can have implants placed there. I'm so glad you wrote on here pennie as I feel sometimes that there are not as many young people with breast cancer. And I'm aware there are many different types of ages and types of cancer but it's nice to know someone of the same age. Hope this helps you xxxx
